I'm getting ready to go now. I'm packing a little more into my suitcase each day. I'm looking at the sthings I'll miss. I already sadi good bye to my dad's dog Skye. She, lucky dog (no pun intendid, it jsut sodta worked out that way), is currently living the life on a sailboat with some of my dad's friends. I'm woking my way up to saying goodbye to everyone. I'll start with Harry my dog...he's too dumb to know what's happening. Then I'll go to Katie, the other dog, but she's smart she knows somethings happening! She's old too, she might not be here when I get back, God forbid!
Then I'll work my way up throught family and freidns and jsut keep reminding my self that it's only a year.
I know my current problems are no where near those who are suffering through Katrina right now, and my thought and prayres are with them. Well when I go to church my prayres will be with them. I got to do that before I go....pray for a safe flight.
I know the experience I'm walking into is going to be amazing and unreal. I can see this being te best year of my life! Everyone keeps telling me:
"It's good to travel when you're young!"
"I wish there had been something like that for me!"
"If only my kids had known about that!"
"That's going to be the experience of a lifetime!"
"That's and amazing oppertunity!"
I'd like to thank everyone who gave me such support and encouragment. Even if you didn't know it, you strenghtened my belief that this was the right choice.
To those I'll miss....I'll miss you so much! Be there when I come back and you'll be a friend for life!
Lots of Love to everyone!
PS: Still got the recap of both parties to come!

Alex
My brother just got back from army camp. He's different! Oh, don't worry he always been different! Jsut to give you an idea:
He is currently sitting in the living room, with a giant box over him, doing....something....on his computer! Huge box, just covering him...it's a really big box, I mean he's 6"3' ish and I can just see a little of him through the edges. He's little in your face....litereally, and always smiling...yes that is a smile ( or at least building up to one, or in the middle of saying something unbelievable rude to me, or my friends.) He has this thing where he'll say "Your a .........(fill in noun here) " My mom hates it but I think it's great. Alex has things that he does and says, that are so origianally him, he could come up behind me anywhere in the world and say something that only he would say and I would know it was him! I would never think he was kidnapper, but I'd probably pretend I thought he was just so I could kick his ass and scream for help, maybe get him in trouble with 'officers of the law' from another country!! Well he is defiantly one of those people I'm going to miss my year away...he always make me feel better about my-self....'cause it's him!
Love you Alex!

Great news?
I was in conversation with my Dad yesterday at a car show in the North Shore. He told me *she* is coming back to Canada. I had once wished bad things upon her, and should I feel bad now? *She* almost dyed.
The story is:
*She* had a bad furnace in her house in England and suffered through Carbon Monoxide poisening. Apperently this started about 7 months ago, poisening her little by little for 3 months. When *she* fell into a coma, they put her in hospital where *she* stayed unconciencous for 2 weeks. *She* then stayed in the hospital for an additional 4 months. When *she* got out of the hospital *she* apperently decided that *she* had enough with England, and was coming home(a.k.a. Canada.)
Well that's the story, not that I really beleive it went down like that. I can't help but find a coorilation between my leaving the country and her coming back here. *She* usually plans everything *she* does....nothing *she* does is a mistake!! Nothing that happens to her happens by acciendet. I wouldn't put it by her that she got drunk one night and and for some reason hit the hell out of her furnace. Well maybe thats a little harsh, but still possible!
Just to give you all an idea of what I'm talking about:
>> Are your parents divorced, if not you probably have no idea where I'm comng from.
>> If they are, imagine the person who caused that...getting angry yet?
>> Next imagine your own father taking this person into his home after the divorce!They didn't get married, *she* was jsut staying in his basement, wierd or what?
>>*She* stays there for a while, then completly randomly decides to go to England?? What where did that come from?? Wait a minute you don't care!! *She's* GONE!!!!
>>Then you get a trip to England, and your only honest fear is that *she* is there, in the COUNTRY, because you know *she* would find you and try to make ridiculous small talk!
>>So when *she* says *she* is coming back to Canada are you happy or not?
..On the one hand *she* is not near you, no small talk..
..But on the other hand *she* is near your Dad again and there is absolutly nothing you can do!..
Well this is me completly confused, excited, annoyed and angry! Do you think I could jam any more emotions in there??
